MidWinter Advance (MWA) is a high-energy winter youth experience focused on sharing the good news of Jesus Christ in ways that connect with today’s students. From January 15–17, 2027, we’re excited to gather for a weekend of worship, fellowship, and fun—this year at a new location: Sandy Cove in North East, Maryland.

Nestled along the Chesapeake Bay, Sandy Cove offers a beautiful waterfront setting with comfortable lodging, gathering spaces, and plenty of room for both high-energy activities (like an indoor pool) and meaningful moments of connection. It’s the perfect backdrop for a weekend away to grow in faith and community.

MWA is led by teams of college students and young adult leaders from a variety of Christian organizations. These teams bring energy, creativity, and authenticity as they engage youth through worship, skits, testimony, games, and small group experiences. Throughout the weekend, students will build relationships, deepen their faith, and memories that will last a lifetime!
